mike joins us. tell us how this unfolded. >> reporter: this is a sad story, it really is. the private moment which you referred to was a sexual encounter, allegedly a gay sexual encounter. two students are under arrest for privacy law violations. think about what one of suspects tweeted as he was live streaming the video of his roommate having this sexual moment, this romantic moment. roommate asked for the room till midnight. i went to molly's room, that's the co-defendant and turned on the web cam, saw him making out with a dude, yay. that has gay rights groups calling for this to be prosecuted as a hate crime not just a civil rights violation. certainly as more than a privacy law violation case. right now the two suspects are home with their families. they've been released one on his own recognizance awaiting arraignment. the family is new york city waiting to identify a body pulled from the river. >> are the prosecutors weighing in at all at this point about whether they may proceed on a hate crime basis? >> reporter: not at all on that. i have long talks, background t

what else can you tell us is expected? >> right. some of the most compelling testimony has actually been today from dr. petit himself who recalls waking up feeling, and two men with guns saying if you do it, we walk. we won't hurt you. he just knew his family was in another part of the house and he had no idea what was going on. he literally woke up from his sleep to these two men tying him by his wrists to the bed. his family was being tied up and tortured. when the sun came up, this all happened overnight while this family was sleeping. when the sun came up, these two men, according to prosecutors, told jennifer hawk-petit, william petit's wife, we're going to bank of america, the neighborhood bank. i want you to take out thousands of dollars for us. you do what we want, we won't hurt you. she asked for that money and showed a picture of her kids to the bank manture and it didn't help in the end. they ended up burning the house down with the family inside and the only survivor was dr. petit who is now on the stands facing this man

guys, thank you for joining us. doesn't the white house actually want the vote at the moment so they can tout it as a win going into midterms? >> i think they want this vote and there are members of the senate and house who wanted this vote. ultimately leadership decided it didn't make sense for them which is a shame because most americans can agree that at a time of incredible deficits now is not the time to be giving an additional tax break to the richest americans. so, while i don't think this was the most politically savvy move for democrats, i think this would have been a good thing for them going into midterms to force a vote on this. i do think there is a silver lining which is when we come back from midterms, i think you're more likely to get some republican support for this. >> john, who would stand to gain by delaying this, by putting this off? >> it's a very good question, richard. i think if you look at the democrats, you could charge them with legislative malpractice. they didn't do a budget at the begi
